    Description

      Background: I am coming in as a newbie. I've just learned how to export Figma assets using the Qt Figma Bridge. I've only used QtCreator in the past many times.

       

      Steps to reproduce:

      Have some exported Figma assets ready to import.

      Create a new project. Name it. Keep default settings.

      Drag and drop figma assets into project.

      Go into QML document. In my case, I needed to change an attribute on 32 items inside the QML document. (speed texts on a speedometer)

      (attribute was horizontalAlignment: Text.wrap ->

      horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignHCenter)

       

       

      Problem 1: Search does not grab the focus, so after hitting CTRL-F, I was inputting text into my QML document, expecting to be inputting text into the search tool.

       

      Problem 2: The search tool did not work, even if I manually inputted the text into the search tool. Finally, I got the "Advanced Find" to work.

       

      Problem 3: Advanced Find was hidden, so I did not initially find it. It was at the bottom of the screen hidden by a pane that has "States" and "Timeline" tabs. (this is on a QHD large screen as well) By resizing the panes, I was able to find the "Advanced Find" tool.

       

      Expected behaviour: I would be able to use Find, Find and Replace, etc. normally as expected when editing a text document. (in this case a QML document.) CTRL-F would grab the focus so that text I input goes into the Find dialog. Find then finds the text in the currently open document.
